MOVING THE ELLIPTICAL
Your elliptical has a pair of transport wheels built into the front stabilizer tube. To move,
first remove the power supply and firmly grasp the steel portion of the rear stabilizer bar,
carefully tilt and roll. NOTE: be sure to grab the steel bar and not the plastic cover.
Our ellipticals are heavy, use care and additional help if necessary when moving.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury.
WARNING
LEVELING THE ELLIPTICAL
Your elliptical should be level for optimum use. Once you have placed your elliptical where you intend to
use it, raise or lower one or both of the adjustable levelers located on the bottom of the elliptical frame*.
A carpenter’s level is recommended. Once you have leveled your elliptical, lock the levelers in place by
tightening the nuts against the frame. *NOTE: Some ellipticals do not have levelers.
POWER INCLINE OPERATION
Some elliptical models offer powered incline to add variety to your workouts. The incline can be adjusted
using the buttons on the console.
If the stop button is pressed to pause the program, the incline motor will remain at its current height.
To return the incline to 0%, press START/GO and change the incline to 0% before dismounting. If the
STOP button is held for 3 seconds to reset the console, the incline will also return to 0%.
MANUAL INCLINE OPERATION
Some elliptical models have an adjustable incline feature to add variety to your workouts. To adjust the
incline up or down, stand on the side of the elliptical and place your hand firmly on the top of the shroud
(as shown). With your other hand, carefully lift up on the adjustment bar, lifting and guiding it up and in.
NOTE: Some models may have a pin that would need to be pressed to move the ramp.

WARNING
FOOT POSITIONING
Your elliptical offers a variety of foot positions. Moving your foot to the forward most position of the foot pad increases your step height,
which will create a feel similar to a step machine. Placing your foot toward the back of the foot pad decreases your step height and
creates more of a gliding feel, similar to a smooth walk or run. Always make sure your entire foot is secured on the foot pad.
Your elliptical also allows you to pedal both forward and backwards to offer a variation to your workout and to focus on other major
leg muscle groups such as your hamstrings and calves.
POWER
Your elliptical is powered by a power supply. The power must be plugged into the power
jack, which is located in the front of the machine near the stabilizer tube. Some ellipticals
have a power switch, located next to the power jack. Make sure it is in the ON position.
NOTE: Some ellipticals have an ON/OFF switch located behind the console.
